Wow, this is how a DIPA should taste. Didn't expect it from this brewery. Usually I think that I have paid too much when I drink one of theirs. This one is different and well worth the extra buck. Highly recommended for DIPA starving Europeans. (589 characters)

A very hazy bright orange with lots of sediment and suspended particles, a few bubbles in a thick looking body floating up to a thumbs width of off white head that quickly falls to a film leaving a few ring of lace

S smells like a West Coast DIPA with piney grapefruit and some toffee, there's some other tropical citric notes in there with a faint floral aspect, smells very strong as I can smell it while the glass is on the table

T more caramel malt in the mouth and the pine becomes intense, not as many tropical notes but that still leaves a pretty fruity taste more focused on rind

M thick and silky, with some tiny bubbles and a fairly bitter bite and leaves some grit behind, no booze heat at all and at nearly 8% I'd expect something

O I could drink another of these without any issues other then the sideways walking, solid stuff though I have no complaints

Thanks for the bar-code guys, other then that I'm liking this one, a sharp bitter bite in a DIPA with all the industry standards for the style checked off (1,084 characters)

Pours amber with a lasting head.Nose shows grapefruit and piny resin by the truckload. Some soft clean malt and light alcohol underneath.Flavours mainly follow along the same lines but also include some herbal and spicy notes. Lots of delightful malt underneath. Some alcohol is noticeable but it blends in well.Body feels pretty syrupy. (340 characters)

This beer pours a cloudy, sediment-infested, medium golden amber hue, with one finger of creamy, foamy off-white head, which settles at a fair pace, leaving an island shore vista of lace around the glass.

It smells of thin grapefruit and orange citrus, some stronger pine notes, a bit of island fruitiness, and a bready caramel/toffee maltiness. The taste is bitter pine, grapefruit rind, mild earthy herbs, and a steady, though tempered, caramel malt backbone. A soft, almost lilting Siren-esque booze warming wafts to and fro throughout.

The carbonation is average, in a good way, it just does its thing, not getting in the way, the body a sturdy medium weight, no holes, with a nice, soothing smoothness, all things considered. It finishes with an upsurge in the various hop prongs, bringing the hefty bitterness once more to the fore.

A pretty decent DIPA, lacking in none of the areas that really matter. Ok, fine, I'll exercise my right to complain, to pick, to whine - I would have liked a bit more rounded caramel sweetness. There. Now I'm just gonna finish this agreeable quaff in peace. (1,207 characters)

From a 330 ml brown bottle. Pours out a hazed marmalade hue, lots of suspended particles present. Creamy off-white head that retains and very slowly settles.

Light bready malt and grapefruit zest on the nose.

Sweet bready malt starts things out in the flavour and then falls back into the background while ripe juicy grapefruit notes from the hops take over and dominate, although spicy and leafy herbal hops appear near the finish, along with some alcohol heat.

S- Suprisingly weak, even more surpising given the fact that i had it fresh. Leafy and herbal hops mix, a hint of bready malts on the back

T- Malts have supporting notes of bread and caramel to bring a bit of balance. A quite intense bitterness is sure dominant. It has an earthy, almost musty feel to it. Notes of leafy hops, pine, underwood. Near nothing is to be noticed on the citric side, maybe just a hint of grapefruit

M- Medium to dense body, a bit too heavy for my liking (and also by comparison with other imperial ipas i've tried). Medium carbonation, brings a bit of life on the tongue

O- Kind of a bigger version of their single ipa, which i found just as uninteresting as this one. Machete though is less enjoyable on the drinkabilty side (904 characters)
